Cruz, destiny’s darling last season, predicts the Big Blue dominoes will be falling perfectly into place Sunday for the defending champs to miraculously make the playoffs.

The Giants have to take care of their business against the Eagles and pray the Lions upset the Bears, the Packers beat the Vikings and the Redskins beat or tie the Cowboys.

BEARS-LIONS: “I think Calvin’s [Johnson] trying to put some distance on that [single-season receiving] record a little bit, so they’re gonna do some good things offensively,” Cruz said.

PACKERS-VIKINGS: “I just think they’re hot, so I think they’re gonna continue that streak,” Cruz said of the Packers.

COWBOYS-REDSKINS: “I think it all depends on how the receivers play in my book, how Pierre [Garçon] and Dez Bryant on both sides, but I think the Redskins are gonna pull it out,” Cruz said.

Oh yeah, EAGLES-GIANTS: “I think this kid named Victor Cruz is gonna have a pretty good game, so I’m excited about it,” Cruz said, smiling.

“We get in baby!”

The latest:

EAGLES-GIANTS (1 p.m.): Dog mentality needed against Michael Vick. “Just corral him,” Giants linebacker Spencer Paysinger said. “He hasn’t played in a while, so we don’t know if he has any rust on him or anything like that. He hasn’t seen game speed in a long time so hopefully it takes him a while to get warmed up.”

Will the Eagles be extra motivated to win one for outgoing Andy Reid?

“I’m sure they will be,” Chris Canty said.

Giants players will peek up at the scoreboard for Bears-Lions.

“I try to guard against that, I really do,” Canty said, and chuckled. “They flash it up there, I think some guys are gonna take notice.”
